Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 29. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 July 2022.
All research outputs
#1,304,684
of 25,011,749 outputs
Outputs from Microplastics and Nanoplastics
#20
of 55 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#30,105
of 427,338 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Microplastics and Nanoplastics
#3
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,011,749 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 55 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 44.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 427,338 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
